The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Wiki is an English wikia documenting the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise made by GSC game world.
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series itself, is an open-sandbox FPS game that combines RPG elements and a large selection of wide-open maps with plenty to raid and explore. This is made more immersive by the game's "A-life", an innovative life-simulation system meant to simulate a living environment, even without the player's intervention.
Here, You play as a "stalker", one of the many illegal residents of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, the site of the 1986 disaster in Ukraine where the entirety of Chernobyl was declared inhospitable due to the Lenin Memorial Reactor #4 suffering a critical meltdown and contaminating the area around it with lethal amounts of radiation.
However, after a secret Soviet experiment within the Zone gone awry, it warped reality within the Zone, creating physics-bending anomalies and deadly mutants that were once considered unthinkable.It has also, however, spawned a number of highly valuable "artifacts" and other specimens of scientific interest that triggered a proverbial gold-rush that led to the Zone being largely populated by these fortune-seeking "stalkers".
Now, you must survive these reality-defying horrors and monsters, all the while battling the Zone's harsh elements and your fellow men, a large number of whom won't mind gunning you down for the scarce supplies you carry, all the while finding more and more about the Zone and its secrets as you head deeper into the center.
Its chaos and anarchy in this merciless, man-made hell. How you will survive is up to you.
The wiki currently contains over a thousand articles containing information on every personae, shooter, armored suit, mutant, quest, anomaly, artifact, lore, location, and virtually everything you need to survive the irradiated and twisted wasteland of the Zone.
So come in and visit! Don't just stand there, stalker!
